A decorative serif with sharp, flared terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into wedge-like serifs and pointed joins, producing a crisp, sculpted silhouette with occasional blade-like spur details. Capitals are tall and stately with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic movement—particularly in curved forms—creating an animated texture without becoming cursive. Numerals follow the same tapering logic, with striking diagonals and pointed ends that emphasize a cut-paper, engraved feel.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where its sharp flares and contrast can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial passages (pull quotes, subheads) when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size, but it is less ideal for dense body text.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a touch of drama. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast rhythm evoke fashion/editorial styling and a slightly gothic or storybook flair, balancing sophistication with a distinctive, expressive edge.
The font appears designed to reinterpret a classical serif framework with dramatic, flared terminals and a carved, ornamental finish. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and fashionable contrast over neutrality, aiming for memorable display impact while retaining a familiar serif structure.
The design relies heavily on fine hairlines and pointed extremities, so it reads best when given room and size. In continuous text the lively stroke endings create a sparkling texture; tighter settings may feel busy as the spurs and flares begin to compete for attention.
